Like a black bird collecting shiny objects for its nest, I have been drawn to bits of beauty.

Today, I found myself gleefully scavenging through a fabric scrap basket at the local quilting store. The day before, I gathered vintage baubles at a thrift shop and bought stacks of beautiful papers from a scrap-booking boutique. On Wednesday, I walked out of Home Depot with an obnoxious bundle of paint swatches in gorgeous hues. What I’m going to do with it all?…well I haven’t arrived at that yet but I think I’m being inspired by these lovely mood boards and color studies that I so often gaze at via my favorite blogs.

Now, I’m not typically a blue gal when it comes to decor. But lately… I’ve been drawn to this soft, moody color. I adore the layering of blue tones, the rich textures and added sparkle via glass, crystal & mirrors. So glamorous…
